Top DHS border official charged with fraud against FEMA

 

DETROIT – A federal criminal complaint was unsealed today charging the Director of United States Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) Center for Excellence and Expertise over Automotive and Aerospace Engineering with engaging in a scheme to defraud the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and lying to federal agents, Acting United States Attorney Julie A. Beck announced.

 

Beck was joined in the announcement by Cheyvoryea Gibson, Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit Field Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Daniel Altman, Executive Director of CBP’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR).

 

Serina Baker-Hill, 55, of Detroit, is a career employee of CBP. Following a series of floods in the Detroit area in August of 2023, Michigan’s request for a federal disaster declaration was approved, which allowed residents to apply for FEMA assistance. Baker-Hill applied for FEMA assistance for flood damage and a FEMA inspector determined there was damage to the basement in Baker-Hill’s home. During the inspection, Baker-Hill informed the inspector she was not able to live safely in the home while the repairs were being made. Consequently, FEMA approved benefits for Baker Hill to assist with home repairs and for two months of rental assistance. The approval letter from FEMA indicated that the rental assistance money was to be used solely to help Baker-Hill pay rent and essential utility costs while she was in temporary housing.

 

According to Baker-Hill’s bank records, none of the FEMA money was used for rental, hotel, or utility expenses. Video surveillance at the home showed that Baker-Hill and her husband continued to live in the home after receiving the rental assistance funds from FEMA. Additionally, records for the home do not show a significant drop in utilities consistent with the property being unoccupied during this time.

 

Baker-Hill was later interviewed by FBI and CBP-OPR agents and informed them that she has never committed illegal activity of any kind and had never defrauded the U.S. government.

 

A complaint is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. Trial cannot be held on felony charges in a complaint. When the investigation is completed, a determination will be made whether to seek a felony indictment.

 

The investigation of this case was conducted by the FBI’s Detroit Border Corruption Task Force and CBP-OPR. Investigative assistance was also provided by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security – Office of Inspector General. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Eaton P. Brown.

BREAKING: Kash Patel's FBI has charged a "high ranking" career CBP official with attempting to defraud FEMA.

 

Nothing that happened to this country happened without people in power who let it happen. We're not letting them get away with it anymore.

China Summons Walmart for Talks as Suppliers Complain Over Tariffs

 

Authorities met with Walmart over what they said was the retail giant’s request to get some Chinese suppliers to significantly cut prices.

 

Beijing has summoned Walmart for reportedly asking Chinese suppliers to swallow the tariff hikes imposed by the Trump administration, marking the latest salvo in the trade spat between the world’s two largest economies.

Authorities including China’s commerce ministry met with Walmart on Tuesday over what they said was the retail giant’s request to get some of its Chinese suppliers to significantly cut prices “in an attempt to shift the burden of U.S. tariffs to Chinese suppliers and consumers,” according to a post on Wednesday by a social-media account affiliated with China’s state broadcaster.

Earlier this month, the White House implemented additional tariffs of 10% on Chinese imports, building on those announced in February. Taken together, the moves raised the average duty rate on Chinese imports to approximately 35% from 14.5%. Beijing retaliated with its own tariffs and slapped trade restrictions on some U.S. companies.

According to the social-media account, Walmart reportedly asking Chinese suppliers to lower prices may risk disrupting supply chains and damaging the interests of both American and Chinese companies and consumers. The behavior may also violate commercial contracts and disrupt market order, it added.

“If Walmart insists on doing so, then what awaits Walmart is not just talk,” the social-media account warned, hinting that the American retail giant might be facing regulatory action.

In a statement Wednesday, the China Chamber Of Commerce for Import and Export of Textiles, a state-backed industry group, said that it had recently received reports from some members saying that large U.S. retailers had asked them to cut prices, pledging to take action to defend Chinese companies’ interests.

“The various problems in international trade at present are caused by the unilateral imposition of tariffs by the U.S. government, and both Chinese and American companies are victims,” it said.

Wednesday’s announcement comes amid expectations that U.S. companies will get caught in the crossfire as U.S.-China trade tensions escalate. Chinese officials are building a list of U.S. technology companies that can be targeted with antitrust investigations and other tools, as Beijing looks to collect as much ammunition as possible for negotiations with the Trump administration, The Wall Street Journal reported in February.

Beijing has already said that it is investigating Nvidia and Google over alleged antitrust issues. It has also banned imports of Illumina’s gene sequencers, prompting the San Diego-based company to reduce its forecast for this year’s financial performance and cutting $100 million in spending.

Swedish Pirate Bay backer Carl Lundström dies in Slovenia plane crash

 

Reports indicate Lundström — one of the main primary financiers of website The Pirate Bay — died in an incident involving his own private aeroplane.

 

Swedish entrepreneur and early backer of file-sharing website The Pirate Bay, Carl Lundström, died in a plane crash in Slovenian mountains on Monday.

 

The right-wing party Alternative for Sweden, for which Lundström ran in the 2021 elections, confirmed his death in a Facebook post on Tuesday.

 

"He was taking off in his Mooney M-20 from Zagreb en route to Zurich … but crashed in Slovenia," the party said, adding that he was alone in the plane.

 

Swedish journalist Christian Peterson, who writes for far-right news websites, also wrote a blog post on Tuesday confirming the death of his "friend" and "one of Swedish opposition's most significant and fearless veterans."

 

Slovenian media reported on Tuesday that a propeller plane crashed into a cabin on the Velika Planina mountain, splitting the structure in two.

 

A rescue effort was delayed by bad weather conditions and remote terrain. On Monday, rescue teams discovered parts of the plane inside the cabin but were unable to identify the pilot.

 

Lundström was one of the early financial backers of file-sharing website The Pirate Bay.

 

From 2003 until 2005, Lundström's company Rix Telecom gave services and equipment to The Pirate Bay.

 

He was one of four defendants charged with being an "accessory to breaching copyright law" when the torrent tracking website was put on trial for promoting the copyright infringement of others.

 

Lundström launched an appeal against his prison sentence and lost, although the court shortened his prison sentence to four months instead of one year. He was also asked to pay a fine of 32 million Swedish krona (€2.9m).

 

He was also active in politics, having financed the Swedish Progress Party in 1991, which later merged with the Sweden Democrats.

 

Alternative for Sweden said Lundström became involved in the party in 2018, serving as a district manager and eventually running for the 2021 Church Assembly election, which he lost.

 

Lundström was the heir to Swedish crisp bread producer Wasabröd.
